GENEVA, Sept. 13.-1he particulars
concerning the recent arrest of Benson
and Kerr show that Benson has been in
Geneva since March. Here he gained
the confidence of DR.. KEGS, a retired
Indian officer. Benson proposed for the
hand Of DR.. KeeS' daughter, and was
accepted. The former then obtained
$1,000 from the confding doctor.
promising to invest in Amer
ican stock. In return for this
sum which he had from the honest doc
tor, Benson gave false securities. After
presenting his affianeed with diamonds,
which have since turned out to be
worthless paste, the rascal left Geneva
intending to proceed TO America. He
went to Bremen and joined his accom-
plice Kerr and here both thieves were
arrested. Switzerland now demands the

SIOUX CITY, To-, Sept. 12.-In the
Haddock trial to-day the time was taken
up in the cross-eXaminatiOn of Leavitt
and in hearing the testimony of Bis
marck. The defense tried in every way
to confuse the witnesses and draw out
conflicting statements, but did not sue
ceed to any particular extent. Leavitt
stOutly adhered to his former statement
that his confession at Chicago was made
before any offer of immunity was made,
and the state offered to allow certified
copy of the statement to go in evidence,
which was resisted by the defense who
desired to introduce only parts of it.
Bismarck or Koschnitski, as his real
name is, told substantially the same
story as on the Arensdorf trial and said
that Arensdorf shot the preacher. An
effort was made ON cross-eXamination to
get him to admit that he was so drunk
what he was doing, but with
out success. o. G. Tredway, one

Treiber and said: 81 can't tell you who
he will bring back, but you may rest as
sured that he will bring evidence that
will prove a genuine surprise" Re-
marks were made to-day when Leavitt
and Rev. Mr.. Glass, Haddack's sue
ceSSOr as pastor, were together. Times
have changed since year ago when
Leavitt and his gang were considered
beneath the notice of church people.
